Xmas Lights in Budapest, contd...

Just read the captions...
It was fun to visit for sure.
Party in progress...
This area was really lovely...
Such big chunky food. Have decided I'm not a fan of this type of food. Prefer Mediterranean...
Ham hocks by the barrel full...
Soup in a cob of bread...Prague does it best!
The stalls all use neatly sawn wood to fill in gaps and use for decoration...Great atmosphere huh?
Some of the drinks on offer...800ft is about $4, so these things here in Budapest are very pricey.
More...
More...
More...I forgot to get a drink in Budapest as I was a bit overwhelmed at so much stuff, not food so much, but nic-naks.
Back to the food. Shame I couldn't post the smells for you!
It's crazy...
People sitting and standing outside in the zero temperature, eating and drinking...
Overload...
Had enough, so am heading back to the metro...I hope, to catch my train to Belgrade at 10.40pm tonight, Wednesday 16 Dec
Crowds everywhere...
More streets, more lights...
All the stalls have to present only locally and hand made things for sale.
And on it goes...
Some sort of liqueur dispenser I think...
Leaving my dress, umbrella, hand bags and shoe behind now...
Hoping this leads back to the Metro station underground...

Ooops...wrong turn...Back for a final glance at my shoes...

Just so pretty...

Ooops...sideways...
Bye...
Bye, bye...
Found it OK...now up we go to grab a train for 2 stops on the red line and hopefully will emerge at Kelleti international train station in 2 shakes.
Yup, all is good...Going up again now.
Inside the main Budapest train station entry hall.
It's very pretty... From the street outside entrance
And very tall!
Entrance from the train platforms...
Love these buildings...Caught the train on time and had a great 8 hr trip to Belgrade, arriving at 6.30am. 
Our room at Home sweet Home Hostel in Belgrade. Under $10 each a night. As soon as I hit the ground, I raced up to my fave cafes, had a look around and raced back, had a snooze and Jelena came at 10am and we went out for the entire day, arriving back at the hostel after 11pm.
The sun came out on Thursday, so it was very nice indeed.
OK...so am now in Belgrade. Will do the next part of the blog tomorrow and you can continue my trip with me...
